California Court of Appeal

In a personal injury action, judgment in favor of plaintiff is affirmed over defendant's challenges that 1) it did not have a duty to warn of possible injury from diving into a shallow pool, 2) the district court misapplied the doctrine of primary assumption of risk, and 3) its acts were not the proximate cause of plaintiff's injuries.
